Okay, so today I wanna talk about my little adventure to the Estero Beach and Tennis Club in Fort Myers Beach. I’ve been meaning to check out some beach rentals down there, and this place kept popping up, so I figured, why not? Let’s dive in!
First things first, I had to figure out where the heck this place was. Turns out, it’s right on Estero Boulevard, which is like the main drag in Fort Myers Beach. Easy enough. I hopped in my car and made the drive. It wasn’t too bad, took me about half an hour from where I live.
When I got there, I was immediately struck by how massive the place is. There are several buildings, all with that classic Florida beach vibe – you know, pastel colors, palm trees, the works. I parked my car and made my way to what I assumed was the main office.
Finding the Right Rental
I walked in, and a friendly lady at the front desk greeted me. I told her I was interested in checking out some rentals, and she handed me a brochure with all the different options. Man, were there a lot of choices! They have everything from cozy little studios to big, sprawling condos that can sleep like ten people.
I spent a good chunk of time just browsing through the brochure, trying to narrow down my options. I knew I wanted something with a nice view, preferably with a balcony, and access to a pool was a must. After a while, I circled a few that caught my eye and went back to the front desk.
Taking a Tour
The lady at the desk, whose name I think was Sarah, was super helpful. I showed her the rentals I was interested in, and she offered to give me a tour of a couple of them. Score! We started with a one-bedroom condo on the third floor. It was pretty nice – clean, spacious, and it had a killer view of the Gulf. The balcony was perfect for sipping my morning coffee while watching the waves.
Next, we checked out a two-bedroom unit that was a bit bigger. This one was on the fifth floor, so the view was even better. It also had a bigger balcony, which was a plus. Both condos had fully equipped kitchens, which is great if you’re planning on doing some cooking during your stay.
Amenities Galore
After the condo tours, Sarah showed me around the rest of the property. They have a bunch of amenities, which is definitely a selling point. There are two heated pools, which are perfect for those slightly cooler days. They also have tennis courts, which I’m not very good at, but hey, it’s an option. There is even a fitness center if you want to burn some of those vacation calories.
- Two heated pools
- Tennis courts
- Fitness center
- Direct beach access
But the best part, in my opinion, is the direct beach access. You can literally walk out the back of the property and boom, you’re on the sand. No need to drive anywhere or fight for parking. It’s just right there, waiting for you.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I was pretty impressed with the Estero Beach and Tennis Club. The location is great, the condos are nice, and the amenities are top-notch. I’m still not 100% sure if I’ll end up renting there, but it’s definitely high on my list. I mean, who wouldn’t want to wake up to that view every morning? I might have to go back again with my family to make the final decision.
So, that’s my little adventure to the Estero Beach and Tennis Club. If you’re ever in Fort Myers Beach and looking for a place to stay, I’d definitely recommend checking it out. You might just find your perfect little slice of paradise.
